Imprint in bottom margin, trimmed, and largely unreadable. This edition probably a secondary state of this map, published c1836, which, despite being heavily re-engraved, still carries the original publication date of 18th December 1835 (see notes on dating).

This edition of the map has been re-engraved with significant changes. It has been extended northwards to include Forfar, with inclusion of a 'Geological & Mineralogical Section From The St. George's Channel To The German Ocean' at the top right. The title has been removed from top left and engraved in the North Sea, east of Yorkshire.

State 1 of this map included the name of J.A. Knipe (James Alexander Knipe, Geologist), however, re-engraving and subsequent re-issue of the map occurred during 1836-1837, with Knipe's name omitted from the title.

Large scale and highly detailed map of London, with proposed Metropolitan railway lines and improvements overlaid in various colours, numbered.

This is the second of MAPCO's copies of Stanford's Library Map of London to be displayed. The railway overlay makes this a unique, fascinating, and rare map, of interest to family historians, local historians, and railway enthusiasts.

This is one of the largest maps to be displayed on the MAPCO website. The detail is amazing. Cassell, Petter & Galpin, who had previously published the map in 1863, declared that their "large map of London, as well as being the largest, is universally admitted to be the best map of London ever produced". This highly detailed map is on a very large scale of 9⅜" to
1 Statute Mile.

Chosen because it is simple to remember, this is an easy way to access the map directly.

The map can still be reached via the MAPCO website. Similarly the MAPCO website can still be accessed through the Map Of London 1868 website. The map is still part of the MAPCO : Map And Plan Collection Online website.
